PS3 Laptop question

Post by MrMikeAZ »

So I want to make one of these, since Ben is charging 5k for the pimp one he made. I believe I can make one for less. Was wondering if anyone could give me some info on making the laptop case. Or any other advise on this subject.

Advice: read read read.

Only one other person has made a PS3 laptop that I know of so there aren't a lot of us who can tell you everything you need to know. With all the laptops Ben has been making lately, there's been a lot of interest in CNC machined cases. There's a machine that cuts a case out of plastic or metal and all you have to do is draw up some diagrams to tell the machine what you want. go ahead and look in the case making section and read up on what others have tried.

Wrong. Ben is not currently selling any PS3 laptops to anyone. He only made ONE, and that was for an auction for a special cause. He will not be making anymore, let alone one for sale.

You don't know what you're talking about. Ben just got finished making a new one a little while ago, and he mentioned that he might sell it if a buyer arose.
